ISO/IEC 27019 – Information Security for Energy Utilities
Sector-Specific Security Controls for Energy Systems
ISO/IEC 27019 is an extension of the ISO/IEC 27001 standard, designed specifically for the energy utility sector. It provides tailored information security controls for organizations that manage industrial control systems (ICS), SCADA environments, and other critical infrastructures in electricity generation, transmission, and distribution.
CFECERT offers independent certification audits to evaluate whether energy utility organizations have effectively implemented the specific security controls required by ISO/IEC 27019 — in alignment with the broader ISO 27001 framework.
Why ISO/IEC 27019 Certification Matters
The energy sector faces increasing threats from cyberattacks targeting operational technology and critical infrastructure. ISO/IEC 27019 helps ensure that security controls are:
Adapted to industry-specific risks
Integrated with business continuity and incident response processes
Applied consistently across IT and OT environments
Compliant with national and international regulatory expectations
Certification demonstrates that your organization not only follows ISO/IEC 27001, but also meets the sector-specific guidance necessary to protect energy systems and maintain operational resilience.
